Today I learnt that there's such a thing as Absurdism and it's very different from Nihilism...

And then, reading through articles made me realise I'm less of a Nihilist and more of an Absurdist because...

There's no real meaning to life but I try to live as well as I can and be a benefit to my society.

I feel I need to be more serious about dumping all the shiney trinkets and articles I find on the internet into this here blog. Here's a start.

This is a link for an article titled how to be an anticapitalist:

http://www.jacobinmag.com/2015/12/erik-olin-wright-real-utopias-anticapitalism-democracy/

It's a really good article, long read but well worth it.

Let's just say today's main bulk of this post will go into the personal journal and the only other update is a link that's making me quite annoyed. But I'm on the rag so anything and everything is going to make me quite annoyed. Hell, I'm annoyed right now.

Here's the offending link.

http://www.elephantjournal.com/2015/08/to-the-women-who-are-never-the-one/

Now, I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I'm just annoyed that society has, yet again, made it the utmost importance that we all mosey along our lives, expand ridiculous amounts of energy to find 'the one' and pair up. Might I stress that, yes, it is our genetic imperative -- being a part of an evolutionary species -- to procreate. I get that. BUT why make up some mumbo jumbo about there being any one particular person for another one particular person? Bit shit.

Eugh. Also had a really bad meal. What a crap night.

... Alright, everything's been unloaded. Time for some games.

Oh, thought catalogue, sometimes you amuse me so with how you put things (well, some of them, anyway) inside my head into lists... Like this one.

And here they are, with colour commentary.

1. You have a lot of opinions about a lot of things, and you just can’t keep them to yourself. 
   -- There's being a complete arsehole and then there's being diplomatically blunt. One makes you less of a human being, the other makes you heard. And everyone is entitled to their opinion.
2. You mean what you say and say what you mean – none of that Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus nonsense. 
   -- Your word is how you represent yourself. Words are powerful things. If you can't stick to your word then you don't have much of an integrity to begin with.
3. You never back-down from an argument. You’re not always starting them but you sure as hell finish them when necessary. 
   -- Key words: When Necessary. Often, it's to know when you're wrong and to apologise. If the other person is gearing in for a fight of mammoth proportions, why give it to them. 
4. You have really high standards for the people you choose to be around and you’re not afraid to leave behind those who cannot meet it. 
   -- Yeeeeehp, that's happened more than once.
5. You’ve got even higher standards for any person who wants to be with you, romantically. 
   -- Yeeeeeeeehp, that's DEFINITELY happened waaaaay more than too many times.
6. You’d much rather fail at doing things your way than succeed while being a people-pleaser. 
   -- I have failed many times doing it my way that it's worth taking the time to know that my way or the highway is not that great a credo. You can improve the system only when you know it inside out.
7. You do not tolerate drama but you also will stand up for yourself if the situation calls for it. 
   -- *nods*
8. You love being in charge, taking control, and anything and everything that makes you feel powerful. 
   -- As seen from today's events, that is highly evident.
9. You’re called high maintenance for knowing what you like (and what you like happens to be of finer tastes.) 
   -- Pshaaaaaaaaaaaa I'm not H.M., okay, maybe a little bit.
10. Coco Chanel, Maya Angelou, and Queen Victoria are your spirit animals. 
    -- Margaret Thatcher, actually. Queen Vic's alright too.
11. You’ve always thought aspiring to be “like a man” is something people who lack ambition do. 
    -- I have nothing to say to this. Like A man is different from THE man.
12. You are not afraid to ask your boss for a raise because you want to be paid what you deserve. 
    -- *nods*
13. When you want something, you go for it, unapologetically. 
    -- Unless there's vested interest then the status quo is kept until timing is appropriate.
14. You are not afraid to “be alone” because that is 1000 times better than getting less than what you deserve. 
    -- Yup. Refer to #5
15. In a relationship, you ask for what you need and you are willing to compromise some things, but not everything. 
    -- Compromise and understanding, amongst other things, is key to a strong relationship. That and the fact that you've made that choice to be in one, that's the bed you made. Sleep in it.
16. You make disloyal people regret their words and/or actions. 
    -- Or just leave them. I hold loyalty in very high regard, in fact, it shares the podium with honesty.
17. But you never take revenge, because you know the best revenge is success. 
    -- Cold, slow burns work way better than quick hot ones.
18. You also always forgive your enemies but like every sensible person, “you never forget their names.” 
    -- Or what they did. As Sun Tzu said, 'Know thy enemy,'
19. You don’t apologize for crying or not crying. 
    -- I DO WHAT I WANT! although, the last time I actually cried was... a while back.
20. You relish your strengths and accept your weaknesses and consider self-growth an everyday endeavor. 
    -- Oprah said you gotta keep yourself full before you can help anyone else.
21. You intimidate people with your confidence – not just men or women – people in general. 
    -- I don't know if this is true, I'd like to think I'm a cute fluffy friendly bunny.
22. You are allergic to people’s bullshit and you do not hesitate to inform them of that. 
    -- I'm allergic to drama...
23. You like to think of yourself as “not a lover or a fighter” but someone who will indeed, “fight for what and whom they love.” 
    -- Fighter. With a hero complex. :|
24. You’re not afraid of being called difficult because you know it’s just a word society uses for women who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo. 
    -- Call me Miss Bossypants. That's right, PANTS.
25. And you are always slightly overdressed for everything. 
    -- Actually, this one is wrong. I dress comfortably. Ain't nobody I really want to impress...

Sekian.

I found this on Rad-man's blorg. hahahah...

Very much amused, I am.

Making a chise lounge... Spartan style...

mehhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Thanks Adam...

BUTTSRATCHAAA!

I just lost THE GAME...

... again.

I want a Nokia N97!

That said...

Thanks XKCD...

Who knows why I'm so deeply into the world of the occult. Surely my religion had classified it as Syirk.

Are 'syirk' and 'blaspheme' the same thing cos according to wikimalay 'syirk' is 'blaspheme'.

I reiterate my going to the land of brimstone and the-floor-is-always-LAVAAAA! On the other hand, I'm pretty sure the rest of *cough* humanity *cough* wouldn't get a Go-To-Heaven-Free pass anyway. We all pop into the eternal oven first unless one died at birth...

Also... I should start work.

Oh and by the way,

I Don't Wan't To Get Married

A student called Catherine Isaboke wrote it but hahahaha *cough* hahahaha *cough* ha *BARF* what a load of crap.

Love thy neighbour.
Well, somebody has to!

I love my street in a sense that it has an old world charm to it. Neighbours still greet each other and invite one another to the house. My favourite neighbour lives a house to the left from me, a Nyonya couple.

This Nyonya couple we greet daily with great hellos and hand gestures. It's also the only couple I know who still refer to themselves as Dad and Mom which I think is just ridiculously adorable.

Oh and I stumbed upon a quote filled webbie.

There's just too many! Must laugh!

I had a banana because having a bowl of cereal was too much damned work.
Now, I did have a bowl of cereal for dinner last night. Why? Because it was easier than cooking something. There’s really something wrong with me.

Updates on the trip:

(Attn: Pansy, Danny, Junes)

1. Bubbles Resort has confirmed that they have places for us to lodge for 3 nights

• I have sent them an e-mail for the details to get a price quote for the duration, you may commence with the preliminary 'squeee'.

2. I called up Sunny Travels and they said an e-mail from Abdul Chalet will arrive tomorrow-ish.

• I hope they don't give me a tonne of bullshit. I cannot stand tardy tonnes of bullshit. If there is bullshit, make it fast.
• I also hope there's lodging, kind of.

I kinda want to go to Bubbles 'cos Peisee and the lot are superawesome people, plus the house reef is the shizz. And did I mention the peoples are the shizz?

(!!) Baby love for Kai Jin, lovechild of Peisee and Ronnie.

Anyhoots, Junee got her mom's car for the duration of the trip and she and the boys are taking turns to drive.

I have to:

- Do my Cafe report for M&F by Tuesday

- Do bubble diagrams and concepts for DS1 by Wednesday

- Do elevations and mock prints for ACAD 2D by tomorrow

- Do more lagged pieces for PD2 jesuschristsuperstarboodsmoandcthulhu.

I talk to God on a daily basis. I don't do the 5 times a day thing but I do look to random directions and shout out copious amounts of thanks and the occasional obsceneties.

I do love God, but what plans has God for me anyway?

Okay,

So I'm prolly gonna spend a small amount of money and my disability discount card to buy a slummy place and turn it into casa de awesomesauce.

Because it's always been just me, me and me.

Maybe some friends...

But most of the time just me.

Prolly in the heart of KL.

Preferably on the ground floor.

I wonder how much them low-cost apartment shitholes cost anyway?
